Villain Princess.

"Tsk." Prime Minister Jake clicked his tongue.

He looked at Aurora and then asked, "Are you sure you wouldn’t regret rejecting me? I’m sure that my offer is better than what the Yellow Kingdom and the Red Kingdom could possibly offer you. With your age, it’s a miracle that they’re willing to use you so much."

Aurora was looking at Prime Minister Jake calmly.

"I’m not underestimating you." Prime Minister Jake rolled his eyes. "I’m just telling the truth."

Aurora could see Prime Minister Jake’s confidence, which was reasonable to a certain degree. Because she knew that the offer from the Sand Kingdom was indeed very tempting for many people.

But...

"One had to bear the title of a traitor to serve other kingdom," Aurora said slowly. "It’s not exactly a good thing."

"Would you care about something intangible like that?" Prime Minister Jake chuckled. "You should have known better than anyone else how useless that reputation is in the face of real benefit."

Aurora shook her head.

She knew very well that it was just some useless name and reputation.

But Aurora didn’t want to bear this kind of name.

She had a good life right now. Even if she had to say that there were many difficulties in front of her from many people, but she was still living enough and could do many things with her status as the duke’s daughter.

Why should she abandon all of these and head over to the Sand Kingdom as a betrayal?

"Sometimes, these ’false’ reputation is also important, Prime Minister Jake," Aurora replied unhurriedly.

"It’s really hard to convince you." Prime Minister Jake sighed. "Do you think that if I come to your kingdom and asked for your hand in marriage, will they agree?"

"Prime Minister Jake, please be careful with your words. I have a fiancé in the Yellow Kingdom," Aurora warned.

She would not let others say words that were not true like Prime Minister Jake. If others were to hear his words, it was hard not to think that she was trying to move to other kingdom with such an offer.

Besides...

This Prime Minister Jake is more than twice her age.

"I’m just saying." Prime Minister Jake chuckled. He leaned forward and showed a bright smile. "Can’t you see my sincerity, Miss Aurora?"

"I can’t see it now," Aurora replied with a calm tone. Even though Prime Minister Jake was trying to provoke her several times, but Aurora knew how to deal with it. Even though one had to admit that Prime Minister Jake is annoying, but he would not cross the line.

It could be said that the two of them were still respectful on the surface.

Of course, whether he could remain this way later on was another matter. But from what Aurora could see, this Prime Minister Jake is not stupid.

He would not make a move that he was unsure of.

"So cold." Prime Minister Jake laughed.

Aurora looked at Prime Minister Jake in front of her. "Shall we continue with the agreement, Prime Minister Jake? There are still people waiting for you."

Prime Minister Jake glanced at the door and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. "Indeed. There are some people who are waiting for us. I want to spend more time with you, Miss Aurora, but it didn’t seem to be possible."

Aurora only looked at Prime Minister Jake.

From her past interaction with him, Aurora knew very well that this Prime Minister Jake was truly shameless. He didn’t seem to care about his reputation that much but his action was actually still within the boundaries.

It was just somewhat frivolous.

"Let’s continue."

After this, the negotiation proceeded smoothly. Prime Minister Jake no longer made other trouble and instead followed his words and they finished the negotiation and signed the contracts.

Once it was done, Aurora came out and saw Queen Rachel looking in her direction with indifferent eyes.

For this favorite queen of the Red Kingdom’s king, perhaps there were no one in the world who could enter her eyes.

Not that Aurora cared, though.

Nobles were all full of pride and so on, so when Queen Rachel looked down on her, Aurora would only pretend that she didn’t see it.

She couldn’t do anything about it anyway.

...

The negotiation was over.

Every representatives were making their way back, including Aurora. When she was about to bid her farewell, Prince Charles was so excited and said that he would come to the Yellow Kingdom soon.

At that time, he hoped that Aurora would guide him to look around.

Aurora could only agree under Prince Charles’ persistent demeanor.

On the other hand, Prince Brian watched everything calmly without much interest in the slightest bit. He had no interest in what Prince Charles was going to do.

Besides...

He had other duties in this war.

The notebook’s matter was also brushed past as a maid found the notebook and returned it to the study room before Prince Brian returned. It could be said that Prince Brian didn’t notice someone had taken it.

Even if someone did, the code inside would not be so easy to decipher.

He had this confidence.

After some time, Aurora managed to depart along with the knights back to the Yellow Kingdom. The journey would take a few days and Aurora usually spent this time resting.

Because once she got back, she wouldn’t have much time to rest. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Of course, if there was some time, Aurora could also spend her time reading.

It should have been an uneventful journey.

But...

Swish! Swish! Swish! Jleb! Jleb! Thud!

"Ahh!"

"Enemy attack!"

Aurora, who was resting inside the carriage, was stunned when she heard the shout and turned her attention outside.

She saw a group of people rushing forward and met with the knights.

Her eyes turned a shade colder.

To think that there would be still be people who attacked even after seeing the family’s insignia... it seemed that someone wanted her die so badly.
